Vulpes are majestic creatures, and yet the news about vulpes has been mostly negative. Just look at this charming fellow:

And yet, we have such bad images of the fox. In fairy tales, the fox steals the crow's cheese, comes off as arrogant in the "Fox and the Cat"... The fox is generally viewed as a trickster, and we better watch out for the fox.

However, the fox forms an integral part of the ecosystem. Even the fox's sexual characteristics are worth noting: The male fox's scrotum is held up close to the body with the testes inside even after they descend. Like other canines, the male fox has a baculum, or penile bone. The testes of red foxes are smaller than those of Arctic foxes. Sperm formation in red foxes begins in August–September, with the testicles attaining their greatest weight in December–February.

How can we be so mean to these guys? What did they ever do to the Grimm Brothers?

I think that we should rehabilitate vulpes, and stop scaring our kids with news of the Vulpes Scare.

What does NSG say about vulpes? Or about Cerdocyon? Or Dusicyon? Or Lycalopex? Or Otocyon? Or Urocyon?

Ukraine - stop bombing innocent people! Pricks who burn other people alive should be lawfully punished. Remember Odessa!

I hate it when foxes steal my chickens, but I would rather put up a fence then kill one.

Wasn't there Soviet/Russian project to domesticate gray foxes to see how domestication affected animals?

Don't tread on me libertarianUnapologetic Jon Snow supporter."Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - -George Orwell

To be honest, I've knever really thought about why foxes are always considered to be "evil" animals. My guess would be that the tradition comes from foxes hunting various farm animals and causing the farmers much annoyance. As well as them being unable to be farmed themselves. Given the rather utilitarian outlook on life back then this might mean that foxes were regarded as evil animals. This general dissatisfaction would later make its way into stories.

In modern days we probably still regard foxes as "evil" out of force of habit and the sheer volume of stories that label them as such. This creates a self-perpetuating belief in the evilness of foxes as each generation reads the stories of the last and writes new ones for the future. Like any things this hatred is highly unlikely to be undone within one century and will take hundreds of years to dissipate completely. Then maybe sheep might become the cunning, sly villains.

Well, you start by rounding up some British gentlemen, hounds and horses. Serve some light refreshment, something apt for a morning, like anything consisting of gin for at least half of its mass. Then someone blows a horn, the hounds are unleashed, and there's a general trampling of crops at the hooves of noble steeds. Someone else yells "tally ho!".

Yes, they become adorable hyper doggos.

But they're not forming the evil mammal empire! I think that if we work on ourselves, we can change our opinion of these majestic mammals.

That's not very nice. Sounds like something David Cameron would do.

And with that, let's get back on topic - so how would a pro-vulpes fairy tale look like?
